Updating Settings Stored in the (IndexDB) ItemTable

[barrycarr]

Hi

Further to my previous question, #421, the settings I need to change the defaults for are stored in the workspace's ItemTable; they're not user settings. I've tried setting the values I need to change using the technique suggested in the answer to #421 but, as the setting I trying to change isn't a "public" setting, ie: something that would be found in a users settings.json , adding my new config values to configurationDefaults doesn't work as the config keys I'm trying to set aren't registered in the workspace's instance of ConfigurationRegistry. I know this because I've stepped through the configuration process and my new values are being ignored.

So, my question is this: is there a way to set configuration values that are usually stored in the workspace's ItemTable?

To give you a concrete value, I need to change this key workbench.view.debug.state so that some of the builtin debugger features are hidden and our custom panels are visible and not collapsed. Is this possible by any means? I'm open to (and grateful for) any suggestions that will enable me to do this.

Thanks very much.
Cheers

If the setting you want to change is not in settings.json then there's no way to change it from the default value as far as I know, your only option is to change it in the vscode source code itself
